[QUOTE="Bill V, post: 886390, member: 54538"] Absolutely. It's also the same as calling someone from Ireland a "Fighting Irish", and portraying them as brawling, drunken leprechauns. I am not exaggerating when I say that as someone of Irish heritage, I find the Notre Dame mascot extremely offensive. I'm all for getting rid of the Redskin, Fighting Sioux (a major arguement point in this part of the country), Indians, Braves, etc., names--so long as Notre Dame is also forced to drop theirs. Very true--but that's why the Notre Dame mascot is offensive--by portraying the Irish as drunken brawlers, it is indicating that they are a lower class of citizen. [/QUOTE]
